a nihilist Plot, Truth About tbe Accident to the Grand DncheM Xenia of Russia. There is great excitement in imperial circles at St Petersburg, according to trustworthy information, because of the accident to the Grand Duke Miohaelo vitch Slid the Grand Duchess Xenia, the daughter of the czar, on the evening of their marriage a few weeks ago. The telegraphic dispatches which were sent from Russia at the time declared that on the way from Peterhof palace, where the wedding was celebrated, to the cas tle of Prosha, where the honeymoon was to be passed She coachman's eyes had been blindel »by the bright calcium lights, the carriage had been overturned and the occupants severely bruised. But this report, it now appears, was highly colored by order of the imperial censor, who wields such autocratic pow er over the press and telegraph offices in Russia. The truth appears to be that the accident was the result of a nihilis tic conspiracy to murder the young pair. "On the way to the castle the newly wedded couple had to cross a bridge spanning a dangerous cut The bridge had been tampered with by the conspir ators, so that when the imperial car riage rushed over it the timbers gave way, and the carriage and occupants fell to the bottom. The coachman was so badly wounded that he died before he could be removed to a hospital. The grand duchess was badly bruised about the head and body and had her right arm broken. JJ is al ßo feared that she was injured internally. Her young hus band had also severe outs about the head. The excitement, of course, was intense in the city when the truth became known, despite the efforts to suppress it qpd to spread the news that it was an accident. Many reasons are assigned as the mo tive for the attempt to kill the favorite daughter of his majesty. It had been expected, some say, that the czar, in honor of the wedding, would pardon a number of political prisoners. When it became known that these hopes were not to be realized, the nihilists deter mined to revenge themselves in away which would hit the ruler hardest—the dea’th of his daughter. They almost ac complished their purpose. The czar and other members of the family fear that ' the wretches, maddened by the partial failure of their plans, may try some other way of seeking revenge. The po lice for this reason have orders to be vigilant.—New York Trib une. NEW FOUND WEALTH. Over 82,000 Discovered In an Old German Family Bible. James Pateman is a wholesale dealer in potatoes who lives on Federal street, Camden. His wife’s maiden name was Oberstal, and her mother sold fruit and vegetables for 50 years under the old Market street sheds. She died in 1879, and her daughter was surprised to find how small her savings were, although she had been a very thrifty woman. It was ’believed, however, that she had giv en her money to a frolicking spendthrift son, and the matter was forgotten. Two weeks ago a relative called on Mrs. Pateman to ask what had become of the mother’s German Bible, saying that it contained the family births and ■ deaths and shonld be looked up. Mrs. Pateman, after some reflection, remem bered that an old trunk contained some of her mother’s clothing and at once made a search therein. The Bible was found—a huge folio, 18 inches square —and it contained much besides good pr&epts, for between the leaves nestled a 5-20 United States bond for SSOO, with all the coupons attached, and 50 in legal tender notes. Further search brought to light a nest of gold and notes in a battered old tin tea cady. Some of the eagles are dated 1820, and there are over SSO in $1 pieces. In all the treasure trove is about $2, - 100. Mrs. Pateman already wishes she had never seen the money, as about 20 nephews and nieces are going to law for a share of it.—Philadelphia Times. • ________ A Soft Thing In the Crab Line.

Some Opinions from Emineimt Men of Georgia, CONCERNING THE NSW EdltiOHl of the Encyciopaedia « Britannica and the remarkable Introductory Offer OF THE Atlanta Consthtuton. THE general distribution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure of this incomparable work and place it in contrast with other cyck>p;rdias. The result has been to establish beyond question its unqualified superiority, it is a giant where others are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in all literature , the one only adequate representative of the advanced thought and scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopaedia in which each subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on literary labor as the Britannica. No other can show a list of principal contributors, either so eminent In their departments of scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so numerous. The full list of contibutors numbers more than two thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the acknowledged standard. Incomparably the best and most de sirable cyclopedia in existence, its high cost has heretofore placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner edition at $5.00 per volume, making the cost of the set, In 25 volumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding. Some Cheap Editions have been printed* in America, but their Incompleteness and inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference libraries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint. This reprint never became popular with the American people, partly because of its small type, which was set without leads be tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi pal reason for its disfavor among ttic American people was the fact of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might serve only to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no technical knowledge of the subject in hand. Another reason why the Stoddard reprint never became popu lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams, plans, etc., no thought was giver, to the need of retaining a proportionate scale of measurement, and the printers, who had no other object in view than the general appearance of the page, altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small to suit their convenience in arranging the page*. The result was, that although a considerable number of these sets were sold, the enterprise Never Became a Real Success and the old plates were finally sold or rented to Maxwell Som merville. who attempted to make the edition acceptable by add ing foot-notes of correction here and there throughout the work. Under this guise a few more sets of this work were sold, but the public were not slow to discoverlhat the " Sommerville Edition ’’ was simply a new name for Aim Old and Rejected Work. Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic reprints : the Allen reprint and the first Peale reprint (no longer on the market), but as the process of photographic reproduction was then in its infancy these editions were but slight improve ments over the unleaded Stoddard edition, tor while the repro duction had the appearance of leaded type the pages had a slight ly blurred effect. Yet, in spite of this objection, both of these.* editions enjoyed quite a wide popularity in their time, because the public understood that there could be -no question as to the accuracy of a -work reproduced by a photographic process. But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopaedic world that will not recognize an edition which is merely a reprint. A New Edition of the great Encyclopaedia Britannica "has entered the field, be fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself is compelled to retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art of reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated in such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical knowledge of printing finds it impossible to distinguish them from type-set pages. But il was not enough to publish an edi tion that was simply as good as the original; a few years of inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre viously issued from the press, was yet not infallible, and while it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers that so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that here and there errors of a pronounced character had found their way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore every publisher who undertook to place a new edition of this great work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise with A Sort of Superstitious Awe, viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as somehow sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, the Edin burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least, the Southern States have shone only by reflected light, ’’ and that “ mainly by their connection with the North, tire Carolinas have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the Antilles,” the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite in contrast with their usuai independent thought, have repro duced this slanderous statement verbatim, because, forsooth, one erf the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has said it, and, therefore, it must be true. In preparing this new edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or letter or .subscript .or expunent that appeared in the original MAGNETIC NERVINE. 80, d wRh written guarantee to cure U NervousProstra 151 tlon, Fite, Dizzi nees,Headache and Neuralgia andWnke fulnese,caused byex ceseiveuaeof Opium. * Tobacco and Alee- .-.rt-C-aL- J"-.« hoi; Mental Dtpres- ’2iE*FORE ” AF’TtR* sion, Softening of p Brain, causing Misery, Insanity and Death; •irr‘»neM, Impotency, Lost Power in either sex. •remature Old Age, InvoluntarvLonsee, caused ir-indulgpnce, over-exertion of the Brain and ->rora of Youth.

Edinburgh edit op was omitted or altered except where the original Edinburgh edition was Found to be in Error. In a few instances the articles (twenty-eight In all) were entirely rewritten, bringing them in line with more recent knowledge, but in all other instances the text of the original is reproduced verbatim d literatim with supplementary information of later date appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted by new and later ones, which were produced especially for this work at a cost of $30,000. From a literary standpoint, therefore, the new edition equals in every point, and excels in many points, all previous editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. From a mechanical standpoint, also, the new edition is StrikimgDy Superior to anything that has heretofore been presented to the public The print is large and clear, the engravings are specimens <rf the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fine and compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used in anj previous edition, yet avoids all transparency, and therefore gives every advantage of the former large and clumsy volumes, while it is much more compact and convenient to handle. The binding is also superior to any former edition, being made with a double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any other binding, and permits the pages to open out flat. In preparing this new edition for publication The AtOanta Constitution was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms and corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it played an important part in giving the public an edition which possesses all the virtue of the former editions, but.has corrected the slan derous and untruthful reflections against the people of the South. It is partly as a recompense for these services that the publish ers of the new edition have granted a contract to The Consti tution whereby its subscribers can obtain this great “home educator” for a limited time at remarkably low introductory prices, and upon terms so easy that it is within the reach of the humblest citizen. It should be remembered, however, that this is simply a plan adopted by the Britannica publishers to get this new edition be fore the public, and when that has been sufficiently accomplished regular prices will be resumed, and then CONSTITUTION sub scribers, like ah others, will have to pay full retail price for the work. By ordering now you will save from s2l to $35 on the price of the books, besides paying for them at such an easy rate that you will scarcely realize any outlay.—The Atlanta Constitute >n.
